Excellent stay at Hannah’s Paradise Suite. Perfect space for a couple and a great location on the island. We opted to not rent a vehicle and instead relied on taxis/walking which worked out just fine - all the taxis knew where Hannah’s property was. Hannah was also a top tier host; her communication stood out and we knew we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommend this suite for a couple!

Beautiful views

We had a very nice stay at Hannah's place. Great communication with directions to the house. Easy to find after you have been there once. The use of beach towels, beach chairs and a small cooler was a nice addition. There are chairs to sit on the patio and enjoy the view. The A/C works well and the kitchen has supplies if you choose to cook. Recommend getting a car as the roads are narrow and there are no sidewalks.

The "Paradise Studio" room was clean, and basic. It was at the end corner of the building which allowed for a good view from 2 angles. It had what I needed for cooking and cleaning. The AC worked but there were no fans for when I chose to turn the AC off during cooler times of the morning and evening, with the windows open. It was a bit smaller than I anticipated but that was a personal perception. The communication was very good and directions were clear, and check-in was easy. The room is adequate. The view of the bay was nice and the outside table at the corner of the deck was enjoyable to sit for breakfast. There is also a table inside the room. This was my third stay at a rental/condo at USVI. Compared to the others the price was similar but a smaller space with less amenities. There was nothing wrong with this space, and I would have given it a 4.5 if that rating was available.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Jones

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Hannah, owner of Dream Life Properties! Originally from the island of Kauai, I’ve been lucky to call beautiful St. John home for the past 20 years. With a lifelong background in hospitality—including 13 years managing and selling timeshares at the Westin St. John—I know what it takes to help people feel welcome, relaxed, and at home in paradise.

I LOVE everything about island life: lazy beach days, early hikes in the hills, and sharing great meals at our incredible local restaurants. Whether you're here to explore the trails, swim in our turquoise waters, or simply unwind in the sunshine, I’m happy to share local tips to help make your stay unforgettable.

I want my guests to feel the same peace and beauty that drew me to St. John in the first place—and I’m here if you need anything during your stay!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peace and privacy, while still being just a five-minute drive to Cruz Bay, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and all the island’s energy.

Our studio is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small, thoughtfully curated collection of rentals tucked into a safe, quiet hillside neighborhood. It’s ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly home base. Whether you're here for your very first trip to St. John or returning for a soulful island reset, we’ve designed the space to feel welcoming, easy, and grounded.

We specialize in shorter stays, including 1 night, a rare commodity on the island, last-minute getaways, and supporting solo adventurers—especially those who may be new to the island. As a woman who travels solo often myself, I understand how important it is to feel safe and supported. We aim to create an inclusive space for everyone, no matter where you’re from, how you travel, or who you love.

The neighborhood itself is residential and peaceful, just next door to The Hills—one of the most beautiful villa communities on island. From here, it’s an easy drive to the National Park beaches, trails, and Cruz Bay nightlife, but when you return home, it feels like a gentle exhale..

What makes this property unique

What makes our space unique is the feeling it gives you the moment you arrive—peaceful, bright, and truly cared for.

This cozy studio is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small collection of thoughtfully designed rentals tucked into a quiet, residential neighborhood just minutes from Cruz Bay. It’s ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable home base that doesn’t feel generic. Everything has been curated with intention—from the natural light to the small outdoor sitting area with a peek of the sea.

We know that not every traveler is looking for a giant villa. Sometimes, you just need the perfect little place to land—somewhere safe, quiet, and welcoming. We’re especially proud to host solo adventurers, first-time visitors to St. John, and anyone looking for a peaceful place to rest between hikes, beach days, and boat rides. We’re also inclusive in every way—no matter who you are or where you’re from, you are welcome here.

And while you have privacy and calm, we’re always close by if you need anything. Having lived on island for almost two decades, I love helping guests discover local beaches, hikes, and places to eat that they may not find in a guidebook.

There are beautiful places all over St. John—but what sets ours apart is the soul we’ve put into it. It's a simple space, yes—but simple in the best way: clean, bright, grounded, and ready to welcome you home.
